Chapter 10

Bella ran she didnt know were she was going,she just knew that they were behind her and gaining ground fast.
She stopped for a second tring to catch any scent of her daughter or Jake , a hand graabed her she lashed out and a young voice shouted her name,
"Bells its me" he shouted, "Wait I want to help" Seth gasped dodging her hand again,
"This way , run with me they'll lose your scent , quick we have little time" he shouted grabbing her wrist again
"where are you taking me" she hissed still a little unsure
"A cave , its right on the edge of the line , you can stay there until its safe to go back" he said
"Seth I'm not going back , he has nessie" she shreiked , he stopped and she knocked into him tossing him to the floor.
"Seth I can't go back , and I dont want you to stop me please I dont want to hurt you , I'm so thirsty right now its clouding my logic" she pleaded
"Ok but you have to stay in the cave till nightfall then I will come back and we will work something out" he exhaled,
She continued to follow him feeling that their may just be hope she would see her daughter and Edward again , the sun was now full in the sky.
"Wait here till nightfall" he whispered then he disapeared.
Bella crouched low into the cave , she was so thirsty but she knew she needed to be strong enough to wait.
She sat back and closed her eyes , she focused on Edward every detail of his amazing face and his perfect body , other urges took over the thirst it was a welcome rest from the burn in her throat she thought.
She then tried to imagine how he had felt in the attic in Rio , how he must have felt when he spoke to Jake on the phone thinking she was dead , and she was doing it to him again.
She took deep breaths and began to focus on his face again.

       Alice exhaled "Shes thinking of you Edward , its so clear as if she were sat in this very room , shes pushing her thoughts out like her shield" she whispered
 "Is she safe?" he pleaded
"I think so, I dont know where sheis , its blurred, unfocused she seems to be focusing on your face and ooh" she broke off and Edward saw exactly what she was focusing on.

       He stormed out of the house, and Carlisle gestured towards Jasper and Emmett,
"Keep him safe please , until we can find a way through this" , they nodded and followed their brother.
Edward found himself in the meadow , he lay on the grass and gazed into the now overcast day, he didnt turn when he heard his brothers thoughts behind him , he didnt move when he felt a wave of peace flow over him.
"That wont last forever Jasper , but thanks all the same", Jasper nodded and they went to sit beside him.
"Not gonna lose her guys I cant" he sighed
"We know Edward , but carlisles right we cant cross the line its too dangerous" sighed Jasper , Emmett grunted and Edward chuckled a little
"Yes I know you think you can take them all on Emmett but we cant do that to Carlisle, he has been a father to us all , hell he is our father we have to respect that" Edward sighed
Jaspers phone vibrated and he answered it , Edward jumped up and made his way home apparently Alice had news.

                             Bellas thirst was excrusiating she could no longer focus on Edward or the reason she was actually in the cave in the first place , all she saw was a haze of red infront of her eyes , her head pounded like it might explode at any second , she needed to hunt and fast.

      It was dusk when Seth arrived back at he cave but she was gone, was she insane enough to try and take the pack on by herself or had she caught Renesmees scent , he ran toward the cabin were he knew Jacob was  , he found her sat on the makeshift campbed , she smiled at him when he entered but didnt move. he sat down next to her and she slowly placed her hand on his cheek , she showed him her family and he looked into her dark eyes and nodded.
"What do you want Seth" he asked irritably
"Nuthin" he said casually
"Then why are you here" he placed himself between Seth and Renesmee pushing Seth onto the chair at the side of the bed.
"Just making sure your ok"
"I'm ok or if nessie is okay?" he spat
    "You do know Bella has crossed the treaty line dont you"
"I heard" Jacob said with a smug expression on his face
"Mummy" renesmee cooed , Jacob shot her a look and she re coiled back onto the bed
"Come on Jake let her go , he'll hunt you down you know that he wont stop till your dead , let me take her , no harm done" requested Seth
  "ahh so thats why your here double agent Seth" Jacob snarled
"Hold it Jake the Cullens have been nothing but nice to us" growled Seth
"Best friends with the leeches are we now" spat Jacob
  Renesmee tugged on Jacobs torn t shirt,
"Yes Nessie"
"You say you love me and mummy , yet you call us leeches why , Jake" her words were beyond her years and Jacob faltered
"I'm your family now"he spat
  "NO!" she cried "I want to go home , now , its not fun anymore" she shouted at Jacob
"You are so much like your mum, you dont know what you want" he smiled pushing her playfully back on the bed , she hissed and he brought his hand up to hit her.
    "Jake!" Seth shouted and jake turned over the chair and stood by the door
"Jake let me take her , it doesnt have to end badly , I'll tell him you let her go" seth stood and placed his hand on jacobs arm
 "No!" Jake shouted and pushed Seth out of the way , seth hurled himself up and then fell with force onto jacob.
Renesmee could here bones crunching and she feared serh would be badly hurt , but she also knew he'd done it for her , so she could escape , she ran out of the door and didnt stop until she saw the clearing through he trees.
She sat down onto the floor and began to cry , tears swelled in her eyes and and fell down he cheeks,
"Daddy" she whispered "Where are you, grandfather , Emmett" she cried she was so tired she cried herself to sleep still mumbling names

   The big white house ws quiet , even Henry seemed to know something wasnt quite right. Edward sat at the piano , he didnt play he just lay his head on his arms , Carlisle and Esme tried to busy themsleves doing mundane and pointless human chores. Emmett and Rose sat with Henry and Alice and Jasper sat on the porch steps.
    All of a sudden Alice and Edwards heads snapped up he ran out onto the porch to his sister,
"its her isnt it , its Renesmee" he sighed "Can you see her" he asked Alice , she stood and smiled
"Yes , yes I can see her shes in the clearing Edward" and he was gone the rest of the Cullens followed.

       Edward arrived in the clearing to find his daughter curled up asleep , but sobbing, "Daddy ,Jasper please" she sobbed, he knelt down beside his daughter and picked her up cradling her close to his body , kissing her hair,
"Ssh baby , I'm here" he whispered
 She opened her eyes slowly they were dark and rimmed with purple , she stared at him and touched his cheek , a million and one images shot into his head of him and Bella and her.
  "Daddy , you found me" and she drifted back off to sleep.

 Just then battered and limping Seth appeared from the forest,
"seth what happened" shouted Carlisle , catching him as he tripped,
"I had to fight him , it was the only way she could run" he gasped
 "Bella , wheres bella Seth" asked Jasper
"I dont know I led her to a safe cave and when i went back she had gone" he sighed  , a chorus of howls sounded from the forest,
Seth climbed up and turned to the cullens " theyve found her scent again i gotta go" and he phased and disapeared

   "What do we do now" bellowed Emmet
"We wait" sighed Carlisle
"For what" Edward snapped
  "Edward lets get Renesmee home , there is nothing more we can do here tonight" he whispered turning his son around , Eward shrugged him off and Renesmee flinched then settled again.
"Carlisle dont you understand , look at her there would have been no Renesmee without Bella" he yelled
  There came a final set of howls from the dark forest and Alice hissed , "i cant see her in there Edward , I cant feel anything" she sighed looking at her brother.
       Then it all went quiet........and still as if someone had presse a pause button on the night, he looked at carlisle , pleading with him ,
"I think its over Edward" he sighed and Edward fell to the floor, Rosalie caughter renesmee shead and he hissed at her she stroked his cheek ,
"Let me take her home , she doesnt need to know this tonight" she cooed , he nodded and gave his daughter to her. Alice , Rosalie and Esme made their way home  , whilst the others stood round a grieving man.
  "Emmett , Jasper lets get him home" Carlisle whispered , and between them they carried him home.................
